Law on international family mediation

The 7th
European Conference on Family Law took on 16 March 2009 in Strasbourg on
the topic of international family mediation.
The aim of the conference was to improve and harmonise co-operation and
practices in the field of international family mediation (costs, quality
control and enforcement of mediated agreements). Training requirements
